VALUE USING EA

Without Architecture: � Without architecture, all the individual

decisions of stakeholders are not aligned.

� Without architecture to guide and align

these decisions, however, these decisions tend

to be at odds and the whole is not greater than

the sum of the parts.

With Architecture: � Architecture is what provides the context for

all the individual decisions to be aligned with

the vision and strategic direction. It is what

provides focus and leverage, and concentration

of energy, powering the other organizational

strategies capability essential to execution of

the business strategy.
